The Circumcision Complex

The Circumcision Complex

An Investigation of the Non-Genetic Bioengineering of High Antiquitythat Stealthily Facilitates Artificial Diversity and Segregation Today

Circumcision of minors can be defended neither as a hygienic procedure nor as a test of faith. Its original aim was the reduction of much feared sex-lust. Amputation of the primal erogenous zone redirects sexual desire and consequently transforms the mind. In ancient times, circumcision was used to redirect sexual energy into the service of piousness and submission. The modern terms best describing this could be neuropsychological intervention or non-genetic bioengineering.

Along with the intellectual achievements that paedocircumcision arguably facilitates, the procedure continues to furtively generate a mental disposition tending towards artificial devoutness, synthetic variety and unjustified discrimination. A manmade cultural diversity is a highly dangerous situation because it segregates people unnecessarily and leads to ethnoreligious conflicts. Such a critical perspective is overlooked in much of mainstream science, due variously to political correctness, collegiality, narrow specialization and the subjective funding of research, all of which have little to do with objectivity and do not help us broaden our knowledge. The psychological consequences of paedocircumcision are too far-reaching to be neglected. We believe that the well-being of humanity is better served by exploring them. Gaining a fuller understanding of the deeper-lying effects of traditional religious paedocircumcision is an impending task the initiation of which we hope to stimulate.
